Allentown Police Plan Checkpoint

They won't say where or when, but Allentown police are planning a drunken driving checkpoint for this week.

The department has held three checkpoints recently and expect to have one every month, said Assistant Chief Gerald Monahan.

Monahan would provide no other details of the upcoming checkpoint other than to say it would follow the usual format. Officers will stop motorists briefly and ask them if they've been drinking. If not, they are given DUI literature and sent on their way.
